Earlier when Micah and Clyde walked down the hospital corridor toward the Ramsy family, the overhead lights cast a pale glow over the polished floor, and the quiet beeping of machines from distant rooms filled the air. Aria, who had been leaning against the wall, straightened slightly as she watched her little brother walk toward them with his hand tightly holding Clyde's.
Damn! Why was this shameless man here with Micah?
She had seen him before, and the way he cared about Micah had reassured her. She used to be fine with him staying close.
But last night, after Willow returned from the auction and told them about Clyde arriving with a girl, her opinion of the man hit rock bottom. She couldn't believe that Clyde had fooled her too.
Her fingers moved over her phone, typing quickly, expression stormy. Even if Clyde was Dean's uncle, she would always protect her little brother. She wouldn't let anyone mess with his feelings.
Then Micah's voice carried clearly down the corridor.
